II Samuel 12
1 Kalpasanna, imbaon ni Yahweh ni Natan a mapan kenni David. Napan isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda iti dua a lallaki iti maysa a siudad. Ti maysa a lalaki ket nabaknang ken nakurapay ti maysa.
Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
2 Ti nabaknang ket addaan iti adu a bilang ti arbanna ken tarakenna,
The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
3 ngem ti nakurapay ket awanan malaksid iti maysa nga urbon a kabaian a karnero a ginatangna, pinakanna ken pinadakkelna. Dimmakkel daytoy a kaduana ken dagiti annakna. Makipangan pay ti urbon a karnero kenkuana ken makiinom iti bukodna a baso, maturog kadagiti takkiagna ken daytoy ket kasla iti maysa nga putot a babae kenkuana.
But the poor man had only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.
4 Maysa nga aldaw, adda maysa a sangaili ti napan iti nabaknang ngem saan a kayat ti nabaknang a lalaki ti mangala iti ayup manipud iti bukodna nga arban ken taraken tapno itedna a taraon para iti sangalina. Ngem ketdi, innalana ti urbon a kabaian a karnero ti nakurapay sana linuto maipaay iti sangailina.”
[One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
5 Simged ti unget ni David maibusor iti nabaknang ket nakaluksaw isuna kenni Natan, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, maikari a mapapatay ti lalaki a nangaramid iti daytoy.
[When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
6 Nasken a bayadanna ti urbon a karnero iti maminpat a daras gapu iti kasta nga inaramidna, ken gapu ta awan ti asina iti nakurapay.”
But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
7 Kinuna ni Natan kenni David, “Sika dayta a lalaki! Kinuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Pinulotanka nga ari iti entero nga Israel, ken inispalka manipud iti ima ni Saul.
Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from Saul.
8 Intedko kenka ti balay ti amom, ken dagiti assawana kadagiti takkiagmo. Intedko pay ti balay ti Israel ken Juda. Ket no bassit unay dayta, itedko pay kenka dagiti adu a banbanag a nayonna.
I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
9 Apay ngarud a sinalungasingmo dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh tapno naaramidmo ti dakes iti imatangna? Pinapataymo ni Urias a Heteo babaen iti kampilan ken innalam ti asawana tapno agbalin nga asawam. Pinapataymo isuna babaen ti kampilan ti armada ti Ammon.
So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
10 Isu nga ita, saanen a pumanaw ti kampilan iti balaymo, gapu ta sinalungasingnak ken innalam a kas asawa ti asawa ni Urias a Heteo.'
You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Kitaem, mangpataudak iti didigra a maibusor kenka manipud iti bukodmo a balay. Iti mismo a sangoanam, alaek dagiti assawam ket itedko ida iti kaarubam, kaiddaennanto dagiti assawam iti tengnga ti aldaw.
I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
12 Gapu ta nagbasolka a sililimed, ngem aramidek daytoy a banag iti imatang ti entero nga Israel, iti lawag ti init.'”
What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
13 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni David kenni Natan, “Nagbasolak kenni Yahweh.” Simmungbat ni Natan kenni David, “Pinalabasen ni Yahweh ti basolmo. Saanka ngarud a mapapatay.
David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
14 Nupay kasta, gapu iti daytoy nga aramidmo sinalungasingmo ni Yahweh, awan duadua a matay ti ubing a maipasngay nga anakmo.”
But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
15 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Natan ket nagawid. Dinusa ni Yahweh ti anak ti asawa ni Urias nga inyanakna para kenni David, ket nagsakit isuna iti nakaro.
Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
16 Nagpakaasi ngarud ni David iti Dios agpaay iti ubing. Nagayunar isuna, simrek iti uneg ket nagpatnag a nagidda iti suelo.
So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
17 Timmakder dagiti panglakayen iti balayna ket timmakderda iti abayna a mangibangon kenkuana ngem saan isuna a bimmangon, ken saan a nakipangan kadakuada.
[The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food with them.
18 Ket dimteng iti maikapito nga aldaw, natay ti ubing. Mabuteng dagiti adipen ni David a mangibaga a natayen ti ubing, ta kinunada, “Kitaenyo, idi sibibiag pay ti ubing kinatungtungtayo isuna, ket saanna nga impangag ti timektayo. Ania ngata ti aramidenna iti bagina no ibagatayo kenkuana a natayen ti ubing?!”
One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
19 Ngem idi nakita ni David nga agiinnarasaas dagiti adipenna, naamiris ni David a natayen ti ubing. Kinunana kadagiti adipenna, “Natay kadin ti ubing?” Insungbatda, “Wen apo, natayen isuna.”
But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, he is dead.”
20 Timmakder ngarud ni David manipud iti datar sa nagdigos, sinapsappoanna ti lana ti bagina, ket nagsukat iti badona. Napan isuna iti tabernakulo ni Yahweh ket nagdayaw sadiay, sa nagsubli iti bukodna a palasio. Idi nagdawat isuna iti makan, nagidasarda para kenkuana, ket nangan isuna.
Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
21 Ket kinuna dagiti adipenna kenkuana, “Apo, apay a kastoy ti inaramidmo? Nagayunar ken nagdung-awka para iti ubing idi sibibiag pay isuna, ngem idi natayen ti ubing, bimmangonka ket nanganka.”
Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
22 Simmungbat ni David, “Idi sibibiag pay iti ubing, nagayunar ken nagdung-awak. Kinunak, 'Siasino ti makaammo no paraburannak ni Yahweh wenno saan, tapno agbiag ti ubing?'
David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
23 Ngem ita, natayen isuna isu nga apay pay nga agayunarak? Maisublik pay kadi isuna? Mapanakto kenkuana ngem saanen isuna nga agsubli kaniak.”
But now the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but he will not return to me.”
24 Liniwliwa ni David ni Batseba nga asawana, napan kenkuana, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana. Isu a naganak ni Batseba iti maysa a lalaki, ket pinanagananna ti ubing iti Solomon. Inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing,
Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
25 isu a nangipatulod isuna iti sao babaen kenni Natan a propeta tapno panagananna isuna ti Jedidia, gapu ta inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing.
He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
26 Ita, ginubat ni Joab ti Rabba, ti kangrunaan a siudad dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket nasakupna dagiti sarikedkedna.
(Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
27 Isu a nangibaon ni Joab kadagiti mensahero kenni David ket kinunana, “Ginubatko ti Rabba ket naalak ti pagtataudan ti danum ti siudad.
Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
28 Isu nga ita, ummongem dagiti nabatbati iti armada, pagkampoem maibusor iti siudad ket alaem daytoy gapu ta no maalak ti siudad, maipanaganto daytoy kaniak.”
Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
29 Isu nga inummong ni David amin nga armada ket napanda idiay Rabba; nakigubat isuna maibusor iti siudad ket nasakupna daytoy.
So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
30 Innala ni David ti korona ni Molec manipud iti ulona-maysa a talento a balitok ti dagsenna, ken adda napateg a bato iti daytoy. Naiparabaw ti korona iti ulo ni David. Kalpasanna, innalana nga inruar iti siudad ti dakkel a kantidad ti nasamsamda.
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
31 Pinaruarna dagiti tattao iti siudad ken pinilitna ida nga agragadi, aggabyon, ken agbalsig; pinagtrabadona pay ida iti pagaramidan ti ladrilio. Pinilit ni David dagiti amin a siudad dagiti tattao a taga-Amnon a trabahoen daytoy. Kalpasanna, nagsubli ni David ken ti amin nga armada iti Jerusalem.
Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
